The PCV valve is about 3 inches long, just pull it out of the valve covers and replace it with the new one!!!

most cars the pcv valve is easily replaced
it is usually on the valve cover
if you can see it you should be able to replace it
if you cant see it it may be burried in the engine somewhere
pcv
stands for possative crankcase ventilation
it keeps the pressure out of the crank case.(thats were the oil is circulated0

Go to your local auto parts and buy one.
Then look on your car for that part, and change it.
